Is The Future Female for the Construction Industry? With the skills shortage a pressing industry issue, many construction professionals are exploring how encouraging women, a demographic who currently only occupy 14% of construction jobs, to join the sector could potentially tackle the skills issue. Although there are various reports and statistics, all research finds that there are significantly less women working in construction than there are men, despite trade jobs being a brilliant career path for all, regardless of gender. The good news is that the number of women working within construction is increasing; according to Go Construct, 37% of new entrants that came into the industry from higher education were women, however, here at TIMco, we believe that this statistic can be higher still, and so we thought that we’d delve into the reasons why the construction industry is still considerably male dominated and what can be done to promote the sector to more women.
The Original TIMbag Just Got Better The resealable and durable TIMbag has been ticking all the right boxes, especially for those who work on site. But, here at TIMco, we believe that there’s always room for improvement, so we went back to the drawing board and considered all the people who use the TIMbag and what they may need from the product. We came up with a new, fresh, innovative look that would better address these needs. So here it is, the original TIMbag that just got better.
TIMco’s New Quality Control Facilities: What They Mean for Products & Customers The quality of our products and services is of upmost importance to us here at TIMco. Over the past 40 years, we have been building a reputation of providing the highest quality products at good value prices for our independent customers across the UK and Europe. In order to help facilitate effective quality controls, we have implemented local quality control checks in the Far East by opening an office in Taiwan. This office will guarantee that the quality of our products is checked and monitored throughout the manufacturing process, from raw material selection to ensuring that the product matches the details drawings from the individual product specifications. This helps to ensure that no low-quality products are dispatched from the Far East to the UK.
